Looks like Joe Gatt got some shots of his car (0199) rolling down the line too.

I just got around to convert a video that was sent to my cell phone earlier. The sender (a person from flat rock) did bring you up by name and inquired specifically about your configuration and attached this video.

Exciting times.

My dude, that makes my day!

I think the author of that video also posted it on his Instagram.

Oh wow, beautiful. Looks like FPB, no? I’d give my left nut for pictures of my FPB car going down the line.

One of the best videos ever. Drum intro sounding like a top fuel car idling doesn;t hurt either.

So my better half has some GT500 hardware on the way to be used for dimensioning, etc. All 2020 GT500 stuff, front calipers, knuckles, hubs, etc. A little murky at this point in terms of part numbers and availability. A second source worked on getting the rotors as they show in Ford's distribution warehouse but Ford has yet to attach a price to them. Thanks to the wizardry of dedicated people they are also on the way. I'm eager to see all of this as I have the same for the GT350 and it'll be interesting to compare items.

That same second source unearthed some interesting data for me too. This goes on for pages but here's the first from the HVBoM or "Historical Vehicle Bill of Materials."

He also dug up the "Detailed Vehicle Specs" for me, another multi-page document. First page...

We talked about how the rail service works and he pointed me to this document...

It goes into great detail about how the cars are to be handled. There was an interesting passage in their regarding tires I thought relevant to those of us with finished cars sitting outside at FRAP...

I find it interesting that under "Vehicle Body/Cab:" it says "Ford Mustang EVO Coupe"
There is a thread here somewhere I reviewed the other day regarding updates to Sync 3, and a video was posted that also showed how to change the Sync 3 screen background to other vehicles, like Ford GT, Lincoln, etc. One of the selections was "EVO" which the guy commented was for the GT500, and he showed what it looked like. Interesting that EVO seems to be a code for the GT500...

Congrats @Ephiphany !

Beautiful car, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to your impressions and write ups.

You’ve been out of the 350 for way too long!!! I hope the transport and delivery go smoothly without issues.
